Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

Figured this was worthy of its own thread. Pretty cool stuff

Interestingly enough....don't call him RG3

Seems like a really good kid.
With all the hoopla about him coming to the Redskins it sure will be a bitter pill if he ends up somewhere else.
I doubt he will hold any ones clipboard though.

He missed the seven step drop but otherwise excellent.

Pretty impressive, Griffin.

He didn't really miss the 7 step drop. He just didn't put it on the board until Mariucci tried to throw him off and asked if it's 3 step drop. He quickly said, "Yes sir, we're going with a 7 step drop."

This kid is not dumb. I wouldn't be suprised if he isn't already studying film of the teams who may pick him and working with a consultant that is teaching him aspects of the west coast offense. That's what i would do...

re: Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

I love the fact that he quickly tries to shoot down the Mike Vick mentality that some fans have. And it's fairly obvious if you watch him play he doesn't think like Vick at all. I want this kid. This video just confirms it further.

re: Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

I don't understand the thought process of anyone who could watch that and still not want to do whatever it takes to get him...

re: Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

I feel like his stock is higher then Luck's right now. Maybe it is because Luck is a lock for Indy so the media is focusing on RGIII.

I can't wait to see his Gruden interview on ESPN! CAN'T WAIT!

re: Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

I don't know why anyone would even question the his intelligence. He's a smart kid. I think it just comes down to whether or not he can adjust to the pro game.

I think the perception is that Vick is dumb. I remember watching a piece on Andy Reid and he was saying how quickly Vick picked up his offense. I think Vick's a smart guy, he's just made some really bad decisions in his life.

re: Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

Interesting how he says he doesn't like being called RGIII...and then Mooch calls him that.

I tend to agree that Vick isn't as dumb as he looks, but he definitely has made poor decisions. I just think fans are using the lazy comparison when they talk about why they don't want RG3.

@Lotus: Upstaging Mooch in his own interview? That's a paddlin'.

Graduated from High School early, honor student at Baylor, recruited by Stanford with Andrew Luck. I still maintain that his IQ is over 140.

re: Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

As much as I want this guy, I really hope we don't give up the amount of picks that I'm hearing. One of the reasons we've never had any type of quality depth around here is cause of the careless attitude about trading away draft picks.

What are you referring to in terms of price because I just read an article on ESPN yesterday saying that they're looking for a deal similar to what the Chargers got for Eli (2 first, a third, and an old vet) aka the Eli Standard.

I've heard the 1st this year..no big deal cause you're just swaping picks. But a 2nd and 3rd this year and a 1st next year. Plus a starter... let's say Orakpo? Just waaaaay too steep of a price. That's 3 potential starters and a starter for one guy.

[quote]The Washington Redskins have apparently identified Robert Griffin III as the player they want in the 2012 NFL Draft and, according to the Washington Post, are willing to part with two first-round picks, as well as other picks, in order to get him. With Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck projected to go No. 1, the St. Louis Rams likely control the fate of Griffin and they've expressed a willingness to[B] trade out of the position for a haul similar to the one the San Diego Chargers netted in 2004.[/B][/quote]

Two 1st, a 3rd, and a vet. Relax now. This is business. The Allen will be smart.

I don't like what I'm hearing but we'll see what happens.

re: Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

I say pull the trigger, we need difference makers. depth can come and go on any average off season. We need to start building around a difference maker like RGIII. I'm not saying the other QB's won't be good, but will they be difference makers?

If I'm Allen and Shanahan...I'm drafting this guy, build the team more with the kept draft picks and making the playoffs in 2013. End of discussion.

Re: Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

I'm telling you all the final trade will probably be

2012 1st
2012 2nd
2012 4th
2013 1st
2013 3rd

It's going to be a lot. Unlike the Manning for Rivers trade, there was only 1 team interested, the Giants. This year we have at least 3, Us, Cleveland, and Miami. = Price goes up.

That's robbery. Let someone else overpay.

Re: Chalk Talk with Robert Griffin III (and Other QBs)
 

People say Cleveland and Miami are interested, but nobody is mentioning they might fill those holes in FA. I've heard Cleveland wants to hold onto its' picks and likes Matt Flynn too. Oh what to believe?!!

Black QB's have to prove they're smart enough to play the position just as White players in the skilled positions have to prove they're athletic enough. That's just the world we live in.

I think that is the world you live in, in the real world they are all being measured equally to see if they will be a success in the NFL no matter their color.
